Magnetohydrodynamic Rayleigh Problem in a Porous Plate

P T Hemamalini P. T. | Deivanayaki M

Abstract: This paper presents the study of magnetohydrodynamic flow version of the Rayleigh problem with Hall effect and Rotation in the presence of an inclined magnetic field and porous plate. Exact solution of the governing equation is obtained by Laplace transform technique for the MHD flow of incompressible, electrically conducting, viscous fluid past a uniformly accelerated and insulated infinite plate. The effects of the Hall parameter Hartmann number, Angle of inclination, Porosity parameter K_p and the Rotation parameter on the velocity components and are shown graphically. It is concluded that the axial and transverse velocity components u and v increases with the increase in Hall Parameter, Hartmann number, Ekmann number, y and t with respect to the increase of Porosity parameter.

Keywords: MHD flow, uniformly accelerated plate, Hall effect, inclined magnetic field, porous plate
